COLOR CHAMPION - BEA-2 BOMBER SON

LF del A DUSTY

This young male has an absolutely beautiful fleece. It's so fine, crimpy and long stapled.

Peter Kennedy's comments when he awarded Dusty his ribbon at AOA Nationals "Beautifully fine and soft, well done."

"This is a WOW (underlined 3 times) fleece AND it's grey!!!" Praise from Cheryl Gehly (tough as nails judge, and co-author of The Art and Science of Alpaca Judging) upon awarding Dusty the blue and Color Champion Fleece at CABA Classic... giving him him 77.5 points, including 18 points for Fineness/Handle.

Dusty is registered as a MRG, and as he gets older, this becomes more apparent. We have found no white fibers in his fleece or spots of any color on his body.

However, in the meantime, judges have found him hard to check and he's ended up in indefinite classes, or has lost points due to inconsistency of color.

What IS apparent is his quality.

Here are his first and second histograms:

2017: 11 months old

AFD: 18.9
SD: 4.2
CV: 22.2 %
CF: 98.7 %
Staple: 75.0 mm

2018: 22 months old

AFD: 19.7
SD: 4.6
CV: 22.9 %
CF: 97.6 %
Staple: 80.0 m

He is beautifully conformed, with a flawless bite.

Jude Anderson found him "well developed and well grown with a soft fine hand."

This male is more than worthy of a "go" in the breeding pen.

We believe he would be especially useful in a program with white females with grey backgrounds.
